[edit] The Prophecy Revealed
- "I must have answers" said Jayfeather. The blind medicine cat sat in StarClan's valley searching for what needed to be known. Then, it came to him. "The sons of plant and bird will do as another plant and bird have done before them."
[edit] Maplestar's nine lives
- Lightstar's murder had left ThunderClan shocked. Rumors of the murderer were flying around camp. Mapleclaw had to receive his nine lives, but he knew that somewhere in his Clan, there must be a traitor. StarClan will have the answer. he thought. He went that day with his medicine cat, Pineheart, to the Moonpool.
- "Welcome, Mapleclaw, We assume you are ready." said a voice, belonging to the cats whom he had known.
- The first cat to approach was Graypelt, his mother. Her short, gray fur shined with stars. "With this life, I give you care, as a mother cares for her kits." The energy bolted through Mapleclaw like lightning.
- Now approached Mousepaw. His friend as an apprentice, Mousepaw had been killed falling from the cliffs protecting ThunderClan's camp and died. Now he spoke. "With this life, I give you friendship. Use it to save all cats from anger." He felt energy, but not the shock of his first life.
- The next cat to approach was Shorttail. He had been friends with this elder, and had cleaned his ticks many times. "With this life, I give you compassion. Use it to help those weaker than you." The burning energy flew through him.
- Fourth, Jayfeather approached. The blind medicine cat had guided Mapleclaw's brother, Pineheart, to be a medicine cat. "With this life, I give you interpretation. Use it to find the right way to lead your Clan with StarClan's help." Infinite wisdom creeped into Mapleclaw's mind. "Also, you must know this. The sons of plant and bird will do as another plant and bird have done before them."
- The fifth cat, Elmheart, came. "With this life, I give you mentoring. Use it as I have done to you" He recieved what his mentor had wanted him to. There were four more left.
- Approaching sixth was Firestar. Mapleclaw's ancestor walked easily toward him. "With this life, I give you courage, so that you will defend your Clan until the end." A powerful bolt of energy came again.
- Seventh to approach was his son, Volekit, who had died of greencough after birth. Mapleclaw's mate, Falconwing, was pregnant with a new litter of Volekit's siblings. "With this life, I give you challenge. Use it to excel your dreams." He touched noses with his son.
- Rockfur came next. The RiverClan warrior had died recently in an attack by rogues. He was a good friend to Mapleclaw. "With this life, I give you energy. Use it to power your Clan through the hardest of times." THe final words between friends were exchanged.
- The last cat was Lightstar. The leader of ThunderClan before Mapleclaw, she was a very strong cat. "With this life, I give you justice. Use it to judge what others have done, especially Blacktooth." The energy was tough to bear. "We now hail you by your new name. Maplestar! Maplestar!" yowled StarClan.
- Maplestar returned to camp, and called a Clan meeting. "Blacktooth, you have murdered Lightstar. I have been told by StarClan. For this crime, you are no longer a member of ThunderClan." Blacktooth left camp, annoyed. "Also, I name Vulturetail deputy of ThunderClan. Maplestar retreated to his den amid cheers for Vulturetail.

[edit] Story
[edit] Clans at War
- On that night, the allied Clans, called StormClan, prepared for battle. Eaglestar divided StormClan into three groups, each led by a leader. They would rotate between fighting Rogues, hunting, and resting in camp. Maplestar led the first attack. His group included Webwhisker, Quickpaw, Pebblestorm, Reedpelt, Oakfall, Dovepaw, Shrewpelt, Moleclaw, Redfur, Owltail, Swiftfoot, and Rabbitleg. Eaglestar led the first hunt. His group included Duckfoot, Wetwing, Lakeheart, Stonepaw, Leaffur, Starlingpaw, Lionfur, Cloudpaw, Hawkclaw, Mosspaw, Whitestripe, and Brightfur. Otterstar, Vulturetail, Bullclaw, Ashpelt, Airpaw, Icyeyes, Minnowstripe, Cherryblossom, Swansong, Barkpelt, Swallowclaw, and Honeyflower stayed behind to rest before their hunt.
- Maplestar and his fighters went into battle against Rogues and badgers. The Rogues were led into battle by Flamestripe. He led Blacktooth, Death, Dark, Fire, Darkstorm, Fox, Talon, Thorn, and Hawk. There also were two huge badgers. The sky went dark as StarClan itself seemed to retreat.
- Eaglestar's patrol met with much success before the sky darkened. With a half-full fresh-kill pile, they went to RiverClan territory for more fish.
- Maplestar yowled, "StormClan, attack!" and the battle begun. Maplestar jumped at Blacktooth. Shrewpelt and Moleclaw went after the badgers, joined by the apprentices. Owltail and Flamestripe circled each other, deputy against deputy. Swiftfoot and Fire fought, and nearby Rabbitleg dueled Darkstorm. Reedpelt and Webwhisker were attacked by Dark and Death, and the pairs quickly became bloodied. Redfur attacked Fox, their pelts so similar that it was hard to tell them apart. Pebblestorm was attacked by Talon and Thorn, and Hawk fought Oakfall.
- The two badgers clawed fiercely at the apprentices Quickpaw and Dovepaw, but Moleclaw stood in the way. Shrewpelt distacted them for a bit, the ordered the apprentices to jump on the badgers' backs and bite them repeatedly. Shrewpelt went to Moleclaw's bloody body and asked, "Are you all right?" Moleclaw said, "I can see four oaks and many starry cats..." A badger grabbed his body and broke it almost completely in half, leaving only the spine in both halves. Moleclaw had joined StarClan. The rage in Shrewpelt's eyes at the death of his brother was great. He leaped at a badger, and slashed through its neck, nearly wounding Dovepaw, who was on its back. The badger fell, dead, and Shrewpelt ran, attacking all rogues, in a mad rampage due to his brother's death.
- Meanwhile Tigerstar and his son Hawkfrost came from the Place of No Stars to help Blacktooth attack Maplestar. Blacktooth fought to keep Maplestar from noticing them, until Tigerstar ripped Maplestar's throat, costing him a life. StarClan noticed, and Firestar and Cinderstar went to help their descendant. When Maplestar regained consiousness, he immediatly jumped at Tigerstar, but Firestar pushed him away, telling his descendant to focus on the living. Shrewpelt, in his rampage, was ripping much fur from Blacktooth's back. As much as the larger cat shook, the small powerhouse refused to leave. Maplestar launched his paw forward, hoping to hit Blacktooth hard enough that she was stunned. Blacktooth ducked, and Shrewpelt jumped off to avoid the string blow. Maplestar pushed with strength against Blacktooth, forcing her to the ground. As he prepared the death blow, Tigerstar blocked him. Tigerstar's strong, large claws held back Firestar, Cinderstar, and Maplestar while Hawkfrost helped Blacktooth run to safety.
- Reedpelt and Webwhisker fell into a ditch while being chased by Death. The small hole was enough for both of them, and Dark and Death were easily ripping fur and flesh from them. Volestar saw his descendant being destroyed and left StarClan's valley to save his kin. He ripped at Dark and Death. Death managed to stun him, but the rage that Volestar had would last long. He threw Death from Reedpelt away from the fight. Dark was not as lucky. Dark was knocked down and was being completely destroyed. Volestar knew Reedpelt and Webwhisker were close to dying and Dark was responsible. Volestar grabbed Dark's tail with his teeth and slashed with his claws until he forced it right off. Dark pleaded for his life, but Volestar refused to stop. He ripped his claws from the side of Dark's neck to his flank on the same side three times on each side. After that, he bit and slashed at Dark's neck until the head came off. He ran to the lakeshore, carrying Dark's body like a piece of fresh-kill, and threw it in. He came back, and grabbed Dark's head in his mouth. He ran all over the battlefield, attempting to scare the rogues. Webwhisker and Reedpelt fled toward WindClan camp.
- As the fight grew worse, Tiger realized that he needed some way to protect his fighters. He went to the battlefield with his guards and talked to Maplestar. He said: "We cannot fight like this, and neither can you. We will make it easy. In four sunrises, we will meet here again. Bring whatever force you want. We will fight with all of our might. If you defeat us, we will leave you in peace, as we will know we have no hope of defeating you."
- At this time Eaglestar's reinforcements arrived. He had heard Tiger talk and said: "I believe we must do this. It is the only way to win."
- "I agree." said Maplestar.
- Then Shrewpelt and Redfur carried Moleclaw's body away toward camp. StormClan braced for the next fight. The fate of the forest lie in the next four sunrises.
- Meanwhile, in StarClan, there was a major problem. Volestar had not followed orders by attacking a live cat, and them further broke rules by dishonoring a dead cat's body.
- "We have one choice," said Crookedstar. "We must exile him to the Place of No Stars."
- The suggestion was followed and Volestar would never be in StarClan's forest again.
- Back at camp, the medicine cats wanted to share tongues with StarClan. Eventually, only four went. Sandpaw, Poppyflower, Pineheart, and Sheeppelt went to the Moonpool. They asked StarClan for advice. A shadow came behind Pineheart, a scream was heard, and the medicine cats awoke. They saw Flamestripe, with the spirit of Brokenstar nearby, standing over the dying bodies of Pineheart and Poppyflower. Sandpaw and Sheeppelt ran, but Sandpaw was not fast enough. Brokenstar's spirit caused heavy bleeding, leading to his death. Sheeppelt told the Clans the bad news.
- The three leaders went to Eaglestar's den to strategize. They decided that no apprentices would fight. They also decided no cats pregnant or with kits in the nursery would fight. They announced the names for battle.
[edit] "A Loss and a Gain"
- After the names were announced, Otterstar jumped atop the Tallrock and called up Nightkit. Nightkit became Nightpaw, and was apprenticed to Pebblestorm. Lakeheart had something else to say. She said: "I do not feel that I should continue to mentor my apprentice, Stonepaw. I am old, and wish to retire."
- Otterstar allowed her retirement, and gave Stonepaw a new mentor, Minnowstripe.
- The leaders returned to their den to figure out how to defeat the Rogues. Maplestar began to remember an event in his kithood.
- "Are rogues bad?" Maplekit asked Graypelt. "Not nessecarily," she responded. "Why do you want to know?"
- "There's a rogue in camp asking to see you." Graypelt left the nursery. When she returned, she brought an unfamiliar cat with her. It was his father, Dogwood.
- Maplestar's memory was ended when Vulturetail told him of an old tom who requested to see him.
